Hidden Brilliance
The youth poet laureate Amanda Gorman has captivated the country in reading her poem “The Hill We Climb.” Although she was not a secret to some people, most of us did not know about her until President Biden’s inauguration.
In 1960, the American Football League (AFL) began playing professional football. The new league discovered that historically Black colleges had a wealth of talented players. Even though the national football league had already integrated and had well known Black players, there were still many more players from these schools with the talent who only needed an opportunity. During the turbulent 1960s, AFL teams focused on the football talent pool in these Black schools for players. Many of these players eventually became Pro Football Hall of Famers.
There is a wealth of hidden talent. This talent is hidden in open sight. With all of the problems we face as a society, it is time for us to mine our communities, discover this talent and empower them to develop solutions to make this world a better place. Amanda Gorman’s skill is writing and reading poetry. What is yours?

A SHIFT IN THINKING
Two 22-year-old men created a snack chip product made from egg whites. They pitched their product on the Shank Tank episode that aired on January 22, 2021. The claim is that one bag of these chips has the same nutritional value as an omelet. The idea for this product grew from the fact that one of them has diabetes. These entrepreneurs were impressive in their presentation and did receive an investment deal from one of the sharks. Although this product is novel and they have been in business for three years, one statement in the presentation resonated with me. During the presentation, one of them stated that the two had been thinking about a business they could do together for years. In their teen years, they were thinking about forming companies. Their long term plan is to grow the business and then sell it. This approach is a route to building wealth. A shift in thinking needs to occur where more people consider becoming entrepreneurs. Besides, entrepreneurship and employment are not mutually exclusive. One can still have a day job and be an entrepreneur. The way the COVID-19 pandemic has devastated the job market now is a good time for this shift in thinking.
